The formula is as followed:

Give or take a .010.
Unless of course you added winglets and now you have a glider that
automatically gets a number in the .80 range adjusted with the
formulae above.
A 1-26 with winglets is equal to a Nimbus lll.
It's not an exact science, but it goes far in keeping the masses
confuse.

Key is the Tennesee virgins factor.
LOL

I had a pinch of that added to the epoxy I used to make the HP-24.
that and the winglets will make for a devastating handicap.
